- I have an Amiga 2000 running 2.1 , flickerFixer, G-FORCE 40 MHz Combo w/4 Mb,
- running 2.1, and a 1 Mb Agnus.
-
- A-Train HiRes will run w/o problems IF I have more than 800 Kb CHIP MEM free.
- I just installed it so I can't give much of a review, so quick points:
-
- 1) HiRes graphics are great.
-
- 2) Cute Day/Night cycles(sunset, lights go on at night, dawn, noon)
-
- 3) Cute satellite view
-
- 4) Sound ok, option to turn music and/or sound off
-
- I like it.
-
- How many companies go to the effort of providing both a LoRes and HiRes
- version of their games ? Thanks Maxis !
